Microbial organisms are responsible for most of the metabolic innovations on Earth. Understanding microbial metabolism helps shed the light on questions that are central to biology, biomedicine, energy and the environment. ...

We report the experimental demonstration of a
multiplier phase detector implemented with a single top-gated
graphene transistor. Ambipolar current conduction in graphene
transistors enables simplification of the design ...

Growth of vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) forests is highly sensitive to the nature of the substrate. This constraint narrows the range of available materials to just a few oxide-based dielectrics and presents a ...

Along with the development of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, graphene has attracted great attention due to its outstanding mechanical, electrical, and physical properties. Graphene oxide (GO), as a derivative of graphene, ...

This thesis investigates the chemistry of graphene from its basic synthesis to further modulation of its structure, geometry and surface chemical functional groups. A series of wet chemistry and dry chemistry experiments ...

In various embodiments, the present disclosure describes processes for preparing functionalized graphene nanoribbons from carbon nanotubes. In general, the processes include exposing a plurality of carbon nanotubes to an ...

Graphene and other strictly two-dimensional materials are the rising stars on the horizon of material science, condensed matter physics and engineering. The richness of optical and electronic properties of graphene attract ...

Provided are methods of making graphene-carbon nanotube hybrid materials. Such methods generally include: (1) associating a graphene film with a substrate; (2) applying a catalyst and a carbon source to the graphene film; ...

Chronic diseases are becoming more prevalent, and the complexities of managing patients continue to escalate, since their care must be balanced between the home and clinical settings. Diabetes is the most advanced example, ...

Undirected graphical models, or Markov networks, are a popular class of statistical models, used in a wide variety of applications. Popular instances of this class include Gaussian graphical models and Ising models. In ...

A process for conversion of conventional sand granules (or other particulates) to a ‘core-shell’ adsorbent granules in which GO (or GO-f) coating imparts nano structural features on the surface of the sand granules (or ...

This thesis proposes a modified structure model for graphite oxide (GO), an important precursor in graphene chemistry, develops a new strategy to convert GO back to graphene-like structure, and demonstrates its possible ...

My thesis explores how English church composers between 1688 and 1727 engaged with the wide-spread religious and cultural objective for moderation and tolerance, in order to avoid repeating the destructiveness of ...
